   Ours (not so much the map but the printed instructions) has shown a   
   tendency to get the directions (that is North vs South, East vs West)   
   mixed up. Or so it seemed to me the last time I used Trip Planner.    
      
   The map itself, of course, helps get the directions straightened out.
